I see this an an argument in favor of adoption often. That babies need to be well taken care of and its a hard job, by choosing adoption, you’ll know your child is taken well care of….
How can someone say this? Can anybody prove this?
Particularly in the 1960s, how long would an infant have spent in foster care after being relinquished, assuming there were no medical or social reasons to delay adoption. I understand that today an infant can spend up to a year in foster care if not more. Are there any cases (UK) when an infant would be adopted immediately and by pass foster care or spend only a week or two in foster care?
OK, let’s do this. Some of the ridiculous things I’ve heard in the last few days alone are prompting me to question how far behind the general public really is on foster care/adoption issues.
What are some major misconceptions you have noticed recently, either on this forum, or in “real life”?
I have one on the way and i was wondering where i could go for a parenting class’s that have those fake babies to give me an idea what i will be going through when my child gets here.That won’t cost me a arm and a leg to learn how.
I’m preparing a speech about adopting from foster care and can’t seem to find the information about how many children are legally free for adoption in the foster care system. Can anyone point me to the information? Thanks!
Ok so i know what adoption is, but what exactly is foster care, like how is it different from adoption? and What is your opinion on which is better?
I was talking to my husband about us one day adopting and he mentioned being foster parents so I was curious as to which is better, and how exactly foster care works so I can make a better decision when the time comes.
My adoption was final Dec 2007. I am a foster parent. since the child i adopted was in the foster care agency, can you still claim the credit? I had minimal expenses. What supporting documents do you need to submit ? If you e-file will you have to mail in or can you still do it all electronically? Thanks for all of your answers in advance.
I know that for some adoption agencies in the US and in some countries there are different rules for adoption. Previous depression, BMI, etc are also factors.
Are private adoptions subject to the same rules/conditions?
